Actually, this makes logical sense. They want to bring in the Messiah with an attack. The West happily abliges, presents their new Messiah from behind the scenes. Some in the East get suspicious that the New Messiah is actually CIA, he is persecuted. Half the world follows him and the other half doesn't believe he's the real deal. The CIA Messiah is killed. The world mourns, except for those who believed he was CIA. A new religion is born in the name of the Martyr.......sound familiar? I'll let someone else take it from here.
